Tesla Model Y: why is it still eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024?

Tesla Model Y blue

On December 15, 2023, the French government unveiled the list of electric cars eligible for the ecological bonus in 2024. One big surprise: the Tesla Model Y, produced in China, is the only Tesla to appear on this list!

From January 1, 2024, electric cars manufactured in China will no longer be eligible for the ecological bonus in France. This measure aims to favor vehicles produced in Europe, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of road transport.

But how did the Tesla Model Y escape this restriction?

Tesla Model Y: the only one eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024

The year 2024 offers a unique opportunity for electric vehicle enthusiasts in France, with the Tesla Model Y emerging as the sole beneficiary of the coveted ecological bonus. This incentive scheme, deployed by the French government, is designed to encourage the adoption of environmentally-friendly vehicles.

Tesla Model Y environmental bonus: criteria to be met

To benefit from the ecological bonus for the purchase of a Tesla Model Y in 2024, the following criteria must be met:

  • The vehicle must be new.
  • The vehicle must be electric, i.e. powered by an electric battery.
  • The vehicle's purchase price must be less than or equal to €47,000, including tax and excluding options.
  • The vehicle must be registered in France.

The decree specifying the amounts of aid for the purchase of low-polluting vehicles was published on February 13, 2024. The ecological bonus has been reduced to 4,000 euros. It has been abolished for companies.

Individuals

  • Ecological bonus cut: €4,000 instead of €5,000 for wealthier individuals
  • The government has confirmed a reduction in the amount of the ecological bonus for some French people, particularly households in the five highest income deciles.
  • Reduction in assistance for the purchase of new electric cars: from €5,000 to €4,000 for these taxpayers.
  • For less well-off households, the bonus remains unchanged at €7,000.
  • Change in reference tax income per unit from €14,089 to €15,400, used as a criterion of distinction.

Professionals

  • Abolition of the ecological bonus for new passenger cars by legal entities.
  • 1,000 reduction on all electric van bonuses, whether for private individuals or corporate bodies.
  • The new rules come into force on February 14, the day after publication of the decree.
  • For orders placed before February 14, the more favorable rules in force until February 13 will apply if the vehicle is delivered before May 15, 2024.

To benefit from the ecological bonus, you need to apply to theAgence de services et de paiement (ASP) within six months of the vehicle purchase date.

Why is the Tesla Model Y still eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024?

The Tesla Model Y remains eligible for the ecological bonus in 2024, unlike the Tesla Model 3thanks to its German assembly plant. In fact, the French government has introduced a new rule for the ecological bonus in 2024, which excludes electric vehicles imported from China.

In fact, it is assembled at the Gigafactory plant in Berlin, Germany. This plant began producing the Model Y in 2021, and is expected to reach a production capacity of one million vehicles a year by 2025.

The French government has justified this new rule by its desire to support the European automotive industry. China is a major producer of electric vehicles, and the exclusion of Chinese vehicles from the ecological bonus is intended to protect European manufacturers from Chinese competition.
